On an emotional day where the Commonwealth Cup stayed in Blacksburg, the Hokies basketball team was also victorious. After a tough loss against Iowa State last night, they rebounded with an exciting 82-77 overtime win over the UAB Blazers. Both teams came into the game with identical 3-2 records and played a tough, hard-fought game throughout.
Seth Allen and Chris Clarke had tremendous performances for the Hokies. Allen posted his first 20 plus point game as a Hokie, finishing the game with 23 points, and showing everyone his potential as a scoring guard. Chris Clarke chipped in with 10 points, but his real impact was in the rebounding department, notching 16 boards.
